It’s probably the same situation for each one, chasing an icing or something like that. Yes there are some questions about how this data is generated. The main one is how far do you have to skate before a it is recorded as a speed burst? I assume it is close to half the ice. You have to skate unimpeded to generate a good time. One thing to note is they don't normalize for ice time so say your comparing Kozak to Quinn the number of speed bursts will be higher if you have more opportunities to record them. These recordings seem to favor larger long stride players who cover more ground going end to end. Quote

The league average for 22 mph bursts is 80 times for the whole season we had 61. Thats not that big a deal. As this points out what we do is skate fast often. If you look through the individual stats the speed is in our forward group. 53 minutes ago, shrader said: I wish they’d give the scenario for each top speed.

I haven't see that but maybe if you dig around it's on that site somewhere. https://edge.nhl.com/en/home Interesting (and maybe obvious) if you look at the top 10 fastest teams they have listed there they are all playoff teams. So if being fast is our mantra, they are not succeeding in that regard. Quote

So if being fast is our mantra, they are not succeeding in that regard. At the bottom of the data set it shows that Brandan Wadlow used the NHL edge information to generate that report. It will not be in that format on NHL edge. NHL edge does not like to embarrass anyone so if you are below 50% compared to the rest of the NHL they just state that as a comparison. The numbers are there but the comparisons are not for the lower half of the league. Quote
Jorcus Posted 2 hours ago Report Posted 2 hours ago (edited) How the Sabres finished up on NHL edge. B50 means below 50 % a number is compared to the rest of the league. Other than top speed the comparison is how many times a player skated that fast in MPH. This is a percentile comparison so Byram is in the 91st percentile in terms of the number of times he skated faster than 22 MPH. Top Speed 22+ 20-22 18-20 Benson b50 b50 b50 63 Docker b50 b50 b50 b50 Bryson b50 b50 59 52 Byram 78 91 91 93 Clifton 65 62 61 61 Dahlin 56 B50 70 89 Greenway B50 B50 B50 B50 Kozak 66 64 B50 B50 Krebs 67 64 80 92 Kulich B50 71 83 82 Lafferty 78 88 64 B50 Malenstyn 76 76 77 58 McLeod 82 87 96 99 Norris 98 94 90 78 Peterka 56 71 87 87 Power B50 B50 80 92 Quinn B50 B50 53 62 Sammy 81 88 61 65 Thompson 76 64 79 93 Tuch 65 64 85 78 Zucker 56 51 B50 B50 Edited 2 hours ago by Jorcus 1 Quote

Norris' top top end is at the very top of the league and he gets to that top end more than most anybody but he isn't going pretty fast all that often compared to everybody else. McLeod's top speed isn't as fast, but he goes pretty fast relatively all the time. 1 Quote
FrenchConnection44 Posted 37 minutes ago Report Posted 37 minutes ago Watching the Panthers play the Lightning is a great example of why the Sabres need a lot more grit and toughness. That they just don’t have dudes like that. They need really three or four guys who play with an edge and can be intimidating. A guy like Tkachuk. Quote
